YOUR ROLE

Our Contract Logistics team have an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and meticulous Global Performance Business Partner to support our global operations maintaining and managing financial performance for our NEXTGEN program. This pivotal role will see you deployed on various projects across 30 countries where you will remotely support stakeholder groups with clear visibility on program performance, ensuring strategic objectives are achieved.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

Reporting into the Global Head of Transformation and with a dotted line into the Finance Director, you will track program costs ensuring financial and operational KPI data, spent and budgets are in line with project activities. You will support with pricing strategies, identify trends and focus on operational and commercial improvements, liaising regularly with wider functions during program activities where you will implement and maintain controls, identifying commercial risks and discuss mitigation. You will develop, manage and maintain reporting with a particular focus on spend and saving initiatives, green and corporate social responsibility achievements and project pipeline activities and ensure lessons learnt from previous business projects are shared and considered for future activities.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

To be successful in your application you will be CIMA or ACCA part‑qualified with experience in accounting and reporting, ideally within a contract logistics, third‑party logistics or supply chain environment. You will have proven operational and customer‑facing experience, with a track record of identifying and implementing improvements, practiced in interpreting complex data, identifying trends and analysing outcomes. You will build strong stakeholder relationships, unafraid to challenge the status quo and be tactful and diplomatic in your approach when communicating with both financial and non‑financial stakeholder groups. You will coach operational management, explaining the impact of operational actions on bottom‑line performance and devise tactical and strategic responses to business goals and objectives. You will be a natural problem solver and influencer with a high attention to detail and able to meet conflicting demands to meet business deadlines. It goes without saying, but you will have proven financial systems and MS package skills, experienced in MS Excel. This role requires someone who is comfortable liaising with remote global teams, therefore you must be flexible with working hours and at times locations as and when required.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO OFFER?

With a genuine culture of reward and recognition, we want our employees to grow, develop and be part of our journey. We offer a benefits package that includes competitive annual leave entitlement with a fantastic holiday buy scheme, pension and life assurance along with access to an employee benefits platform that offers discounts on gym memberships and money off vouchers for a diverse range of retail, travel and hospitality brands.
